Background: ChromID Clostridium difficile agar (IDCd; bioMérieux SA, France) is a recently developed chromogenic medium for rapid and specific isolation of C. difficile . We com- pared the performance of IDCd with that of Clostridium difficile Selective Agar (CDSA). Methods: A total of 530 fresh stool specimens were collected from patients with clinical signs compatible with C. difficile infection, and cultures for C. difficile were performed on IDCd and CDSA. C. difficile colonies were identified by spore staining, odor, use of an ANI identification test kit (bioMérieux SA), and multiplex PCR for tcdA, tcdB , and tpi . Results: The concordance rate between IDCd and CDSA was 90.6% (480/530). The posi- tivity rates on IDCd on days 1 and 2 (55.6% and 85.0%, respectively) were significantly higher than those on CDSA (19.4% and 75.6%, respectively) ( P <0.001 for day 1 and P = 0.02 for day 2), but the detection rates on IDCd and CDSA on day 3 were not different (89.4% vs. 82.8%, P =0.0914). On day 3, the recovery rates for non- C. difficile isolates on IDCd and CDSA were 30.2% (160/530) and 22.1% (117/530), respectively ( P =0.0075). Clostridium spp. other than C. difficile were the most prevalent non- C. difficile isolates on both media. Conclusions: The culture positivity rates on IDCd and CDSA were not different on day 3 but IDCd may allow for rapid and sensitive detection of C. difficile within 2 days of cultivation.
